NUST MISIS opens English-taught postgraduate programmes

In 2019, NUST MISIS for the first time opens enrollment on English-taught postgraduate programmes in two areas: “Physics and Astronomy” and “Materials Technology”. Postgraduate students will have the opportunity to work as part of international research groups on the basis of modern world-class laboratories and to undergo internships at leading universities in Europe and in the US.

The program “Physics of Condensed Matter and Quantum Technologies” is supervised by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Sergey Mukhin — an international research scientist in the field of quantum order parameters, quantum phase transitions and the theory of electronic quantum phenomena in nanosystems, a student of the Nobel Prize laureate Alexey Abrikosov.

The head of the program “Metallurgy of non-ferrous metals and alloys” is the head of the department of non-ferrous metallurgy, Ph.D. Alexey Solonin. The department has created and successfully operates Russia’s first master program in the field of digital fabrication. The field of expertise of the scientist is metallurgy of non-ferrous metals, metal composite materials, problems of metallurgy modeling.

The postgraduate students of both programs will have the opportunity to conduct scientific work in modern university laboratories created under the program of competitiveness enhancement of the leading Russian universities among the world’s leading scientific and educational centers.

Teaching is carried out entirely in English. The educational process involves international scientists and teachers: Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Head of the university Laboratory of Separation and Pre-Concentration in the Chemical Diagnostics of Functional Materials and Environmental Objects Petr Fedotov; Ph.D., Head of the university Laboratory of Biomedical Nanomaterials Maxim Abakumov; Doctor of Physical and Mathematical sciences, Head of the university Laboratory of Physical Methods, Acousto-Optic and Laser Apparatus for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy Efim Khazanov.

MISIS PhD studies have several advantages such as internships at international partner universities such as School of Higher Technology (Canada), University of Johannesburg (South Africa), University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), and University of Copenhagen (Denmark).

Every international postgraduate student admitted to NUST MISIS will be given the opportunity to participate in a competition for a researcher-engineer position at one of the University`s leading laboratories. The competition’s winners will be able to conduct research, lead the research work of international master`s degree students, and prepare methodological materials. Having a scientific article published in at least a second quartile journal is a mandatory requirement.

Scientific advisor are open for consultation. Even before the application submission stage, you can familiarize yourself with the programs, preliminarily determine the educational or scientific unit, send your materials to a potential supervisor and discuss the future work plans.
